New to NanoCuvette™ One? Here is a quick guide for accurate quantification of proteins, enzymes and carbohydrates by upgrading your UV-Vis spectrophotometer to replace micro-volume instrumentation, such as Nanodrop or mySPEC systems.
The NanoCuvette
™ One is an excellent and affordable improvement for laboratory workflows that instantly upgrades any cuvette-based UV-Vis spectrophotometer to enable quantification of kinetics and micro-volume samples replacing dedicated micro-volume instruments such as Nanodrop or mySPEC systems.
With NanoCuvette™ One, proteins, enzymes and carbohydrates can be quantified in seconds with enhanced sensitivity, reliability, and reproducibility.
Embedded in the surface is a patented optical filter with anti-stiction coating that bends the light beam such that it measures compounds. Together with the user-friendly software SpectroWorks™ this makes it possible to calculate concentrations and other results relevant to your experiments.
